Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-11199:
--------------------------------------
+1 to this feature, this has been often requested (see FLINK-10867)
I will help to shepherd this in, I think this approach goes in a good direction.
> Support interactive programming in Flink
> ----------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-11199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11199
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Jiangjie Qin
> Assignee: Jiangjie Qin
> Priority: Major
>
> Generally speaking, Flink applications may consist of one or more jobs, and
> the jobs may want to share the data with others. In Flink, the jobs in the
> same application are independent and share nothing among themselves. If a
> Flink application involves several sequential steps, each step (as an
> independent job) will have to write its intermediate results to an external
> sink, so that its results can be used by the following step (job) as sources.
> Although this works, that means users have to provide external storage and
> explicitly write/read from it.
>
> To improve the user experience, we would like to propose adding support of
> interactive programming in Flink. We would like to start with Table API. And
> the discussion thread is following:
